Mike, I did not spray them. I used to until I got a new ink jet printer. I was looking at getting an inexpensive color laser printer but Office Max talked me into a HP office Jet pro 8500. In thesecolor cartridgesHP is supposably putting more pigment in the colors causing less bleed off when it gets damp. The ink is a fair bit more expensive but so far I have been very happy with it, I use Avery labels/software and they come off very easy. Sure if you put the bottles in a bucket of ice you'll have some issues with the labels but in the wine fridge I have no problems at all. Over all I have better quality ink then I had and its still less then laser per sheet.
